Knoll Lake
![[photo] Knoll Lake - Click for Larger view](/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/stelprdb5301075.jpg)
This secluded forest lake attracts visitors for a number of reasons. Surrounded by ponderosa pines, with a picturesque island in its middle, Knoll Lake provides a scenic setting in which to enjoy your canoe or other small boat. Fishing is good here too, offering rainbow trout stocked by AGFD.
If the fish aren't biting, you'll definitely want to take a tour of the nearby Mogollon Rim. This two thousand foot escarpment marks the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau and drops from cool highlands to low deserts in a picturesque, stomach wrenching plunge.
The lake covers approximately 75 acres and is about 50 feet deep.
